There will be no lack of energy as CMW officially kicks off with Matt and Kim headlining a stellar bill at the Phoenix tonight. The Brooklyn-based indie electronic duo released their sixth studio album, Almost Everyday, last week. Catch a pair of great local acts beginning at 7:30 p.m. with Goodnight, Sunrise and MONOWHALES supporting Matt and Kim.

Another Brooklyn-based artist headlines an evening of outstanding Americana songwriting in the city’s West End with Steve Gunn performing at the Great Hall along with Charlotte Cornfield. Gunn plied his trade as a guitarist in Kurt Vile’s Violators for years, but don’t sleep on his solo work.
